When Crickets Cry
When Crickets Cry | Charles Martin
10 posts | 24 read | 15 to read
A man with a painful past. A child with a doubtful future. And a shared journey toward healing for both their hearts. It begins on the shaded town square in a sleepy Southern town. A spirited seven-year-old has a brisk business at her lemonade stand. But the little girls pretty yellow dress cant quite hide the ugly scar on her chest. Her latest customer, a bearded stranger, drains his cup and heads to his car, his mind on a boat he's restoring at a nearby lake. The stranger understands more about the scar than he wants to admit. And the beat-up bread truck careening around the corner with its radio blaring is about to change the trajectory of both their lives. Before it's over, they'll both know there are painful reasons why crickets cry . . . and that miracles lurk around unexpected corners.

Well, this read was certainly a tear jerker. It definitely isn‘t the book I thought it‘d be when I picked it up. I‘ll admit, it was slow at times and I learned way more about open heart surgery and heart transplants than I‘ll ever need to know. The story may have been about the physical heart, but it was also about the heart‘s ability to love. I‘ve had this book on my TBR for so long. I‘m happy I finally took the time to read it. It was very good

Such a great book. Very emotional and just an all around great story. I loved how the story was laid out and there are some really amazing characters in here.
My 3rd 5 star rating this year. 3 out of 126 books. I don't give them out lightly. This deserved it!

I do think I'm going to set aside reading for a bit to concentrate on other tasks that need to get accomplished this month. This was a nice way to end things.

Staci Within the first couple of pages, this book made me cry! 2y
ItsAnotherJen I think I teared up at least 4 times. That ending was a roller coaster! 2y

Took me a little bit to get into, but once I was into it I couldn't set it down. Made my own heart hurt. Kept me predicting and asking questions up until the end of the book. 8.5/10

This was a heartwarming story. Sometimes you just need a good tear jerker. Annie is a little bundle of fire with strong belief and a bad heart. Reese is a man lost in the pain of loss until Annie shines a light so bright he can no longer hide in the dark.

I LOVED this book! It has some sad bits, but stick with it and it will warm your heart (pun intended, you‘ll get it when you read it).

Other than some unbelievable medical moments, this was an exceptional book

This is a heart warming story. A friend recommended me to read a Charles Martin novel. I had never heard of him so I willing to give it a try and borrowed the audio version via Overdrive. The narrator voice is so calming not sure what his name is😁. Please give this book a try. Great story!
